What prompted 16 deg?

Chuck, the more I looked at different designs, and the more I read from the guys that made them, they thought the angle was not critical. This is not the only 16° holder out there. I wanted to have a good ridgid holder, so this gave me some more "overhang" over the front of the holder.
At first I started to design a left and a right hand tool, but decided to keep the first one simple, and see how it works. It has all worked out well, so now I will probably go ahead with right and left hand tools. Larry
